Chicken and apples

[Nooney]

I tried this last night with hubby. Turned out quite tasty. Most of my measurements are guess-timates (since I don't measure a lot when I cook) And this can easily be multiplied for more servings. We just had the two of us to feed last night.

1 tsp olive oil
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 small apple, cored and sliced
2 tsp tarragon
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 C. apple juice
1 chicken boullion cube

Coat chicken with olive oil (just enoug so it won't stick) and place in baking dish. Add apple slices, tarragon, and garlic powder. Warm apple juice and dissolve bullion. Pour juice mixture over chicken. Bake in a 350 degree oven until chicken is fully cooked.

It has a sweet flavor and I was scared hubby wouldn't like it, but he did!!!

THAT sounds good!! Did it taste anything like lemon chicken?

[Nooney]

I don't know, I don't eat lemon chicken.

But I'm sure it would pair well with that long grain and wild rice you said you like, and maybe some squash or green beans or carrots.
